Description: Outwardly nothing more than a charming rake, William Manderville, Earl of Bonnington, is actually an undercover agent for England. When he finds himself in need of a new partner to help him keep his cover, he decides that the beautiful and witty Harriet Treene, a lowborn orange-seller, is perfect. As Will and the Duchess of Harborough work to turn Harriet into his pretend mistress and get the ton gossiping about her, Will and Harriet start to fall for each other.
